Okay, in the attached image, we are trying to get the Return Air Grill (wall mounted, at the top of the image) to connect to the duct going straight to the furnace (found in red at the bottom, one floor below, currently as a Tee).
The problem that we're facing is that it won't let us connect the register to the duct inside of the wall and still sit on the face of the wall. Nor will it tap or tee into the duct running straight up without going over the size limit. All we need is a 1" extension on a 14" x 6" return air register. The duct needs to also be sized at 14"x6".
What can we do to get this to work?
Additionally, the routing is not how it is called out in the actual drawings. Ideally, the return duct would go over the furnace, into the wall and straight up to the register.
This needs resolution pretty quickly, if anyone can help. and yes, we've tried all the different miters, elbows, tees, taps, etc....
Thank you in advance.
